Gait of children with spastic paresis (SP) is frequently characterized by a reduced ankle range of motion, presumably due to reduced extensibility of the triceps surae (TS) muscle. Little is known about how morphological muscle characteristics in SP children are affected. The ...
Accurate assessment of the talo-crural (ankle) joint angle at physical examination is important for assessing extensibility of m. triceps surae (TS) in children with spastic cerebral paresis (SCP). The main aim of this study was to quantify foot flexibility during standardized ...
Comprehensive evaluation of gait, spasticity, and muscle morphology
A case report of a child with spastic paresis treated with Botulinum NeuroToxin-A, serial casting, and physiotherapy
Comprehensive instrumented muscle and joint assessments should be considered when prescribing Botulinum NeuroToxin-A (BoNT-A) treatment in spastic paresis. In a child with spastic paresis, comprehensive evaluation following treatment with BoNT-A, serial casting, and physiother ...
3D ultrasound imaging
Fast and cost-effective morphometry of musculoskeletal tissue
The developmental goal of 3D ultrasound imaging (3DUS) is to engineer a modality to perform 3D morphological ultrasound analysis of human muscles. 3DUS images are constructed from calibrated freehand 2D B-mode ultrasound images, which are positioned into a voxel array. Ultraso ...
